Cleansing your body has many benefits than just clearing your skin - it can make you feel better, with more energy and keep your body in good shape. The whole process of cleansing doesn’t only apply to not eating “bad’ food or not eating at all. The purpose is to take load off the body’s organs, help them cleanse and at the same time support and improve their performance.

Limit the sugar sweets

Fried and processed foods have many sugar, salt and oils added. Consume only sugars found naturally in fruit and stay within the limits of the recommended daily intake. This means about 35 grams for men and 25 grams for women.

Be more Active

While you are on the cleanse - aim to exercise for one hour daily. And not just any exercise – something that makes you sweat more like a spin class, jog along the beach, walking uphill, hot yoga or boxing.
